I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m a giant chicken. Most of the time anyway. Until courage shows up and puts me outside my comfort zone.

I just finished reading Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert. If you haven’t read this book, I highly recommend it…I couldn’t put it down and subsequently neglected all household and motherly duties. Good news…the kids managed and the house is still standing so that’s all really great. And to be honest, it’s not the first time my family has seen me get lost in a book and it definitely won’t be the last. This is something I am perfectly okay with.

Sign me up for all things garage sales, flea markets, and thrift stores. Our home is filled with great finds, many coming from my husband’s Grandma Lil.  Although now retired from her garage sale days, she was a true master in her day. Her collection of treasures grew to be extensive and she would often invite us over to “shop” her great finds. Lucky for me! I’ve learned from the best how to spot a good deal and I’d love to share the tips and tricks I’ve picked up along the way.
